Will YOU be so kind as 10 allow the
following TO appear in the columns OF
your valuable paper, in behalf OF ths
Young men uf our town who have late
ly started a minstrel troupe for the
benefit OF our parks.
Some time since several OF our en-
crgctic young men took their cham
ccs and started minstrel troupe, for
the benefit of the park aud other pur-
poses, which was indeed good idea.
When they first STATED their future
prospects were very gloomy, but after
u few weeks practice and their careful
attention, we venture 10 say that
now they compose one Of the best
minstrel troupcs in the State, and
ere long they propose to give IN en-
tcriainmcnt, in our town which th"y
will try and make equal 10 any min
Strel troupe ,hat In, ever performed
in our town. and after they give their
performances here they propose tn
visit some of our sister towns. We
say in behalf Of the young men who
started this minstrel troupe, that they
certainly deserve much credit, ana
when they rive their performance
here. our people should give them all
the encouragement they can by Civ
ing them crowded house, If no more, ,
aud they certainly will appreciate IL.
